i read a comment the other day about someone who had initially chose the band, someone said "why get the band when you'll have to get a revision to sleeve or bypass eventually". that made me SO MAD. some people do really well with the band and you are living proof. i had a band to sleeve revision in one of my seminars and she kept making comments about how awful the band was and then would look at me and say "no offense".. like really?! it is very frustrating. i think sleeve and bypass patients look down at us, and thats not how it should be.
